Hans Hufschmid, chief executive officer, said: “GlobeOp performed well during the first half of the year. Revenues grew 23% and adjusted operating profit increased 28% compared to the first half of 2010. We added new clients, particularly in the second quarter, and our new business pipeline is building. We have continued to invest in our capabilities and enhanced our marketing efforts while expanding profit margins and generating strong cash flows. We see an array of growth opportunities for GlobeOp and believe recent global volatility will create opportunities for fund managers over time. We remain optimistic about our business and look forward to the second half of 2011.”
